There are fresh water clams out there(dont know which ones) that if they breed, the free floating clam fry can attach to the fish gills. Which can lead to death.

i thought they were exclusive to bitterlings but i havent had much experience in breeding let alone keeping clams

most that breed like this do not harm the fish overmuch from what ive read were i live this occers with raindow and other darters and it does not harm the fish visibly
